We're here to help.

Our mission is to help people by providing online emotional support during times of crisis.

About Us

ImHurting Crisis Chat is a service offered through Volunteers of America Western Washington in the North Puget Sound region. Our mission is to help people by providing online emotional support during times of crisis. Everyone is welcome to talk about what’s causing them to feel pain. Our Crisis Counselors will listen to you without judgment, and help you feel cared about and safe.

You can expect the Crisis Counselor to help you explore your feelings, come up with some coping strategies, and focus on your personal safety. This is a safe place to talk about what’s troubling you – including suicide.

Would you like to meet one of our volunteers?
